=== The Scoop ===============================
Dell To Jobs: Shut Down Apple
By David Braun, TechWire
ORLANDO, Fla. -- What would Dell Computer CEO Michael Dell do if he
should wake up one morning as Steve Jobs, acting CEO of Apple Computer?
Clearly a fate too ghastly to contemplate, Dell at first attempted to
duck the question, put to him Monday by a panel of analysts here at the
Gartner Group's conference on the future of information technology.
"I hope that will never happen to me," he said. But just pretend he WAS
Steve Jobs, what would he do, the interrogators persisted.
"I would shut down Apple and give the shareholders their money back,"
Dell said, to a mixture of applause and boos from the more than 7,000
IT managers in the audience. |
